Easter Crochet Patterns for Bunnies, Eggs and Everything in the Basket

Easter is the best small-project season in the crochet calendar. Everything worth making is finishable in an afternoon, the palette is soft and forgiving, and almost all of it ends up in the hands of a child — which is a different kind of satisfying to a blanket that lives on a sofa. This collection gathers our Easter crochet patterns in one place. Bunnies and chicks, eggs that open and eggs that don't, baskets in every size, garlands and bunting, lambs and ducks, wreaths and table decorations, and small gifts you can make a dozen of in a weekend. Every pattern is written in US crochet terms with stitch counts at the end of every row, photo tutorials at the steps people get stuck on, and an instant PDF download that's yours to keep and print.

Crochet Easter bunnies

The bunny is the pattern everyone comes for, and we've written several because "bunny" means different things to different people. There's the classic sitting amigurumi bunny in three sizes, a no-sew version worked in one piece from the ears down, a flat bunny appliqué for cards and cushions, a bunny lovey for babies, and a marshmallow-style chunky bunny with the short round body that reads instantly as Easter. The no-sew one is worth singling out. Sewing an amigurumi together is where most beginners lose patience and where a good project turns lumpy, so a bunny that comes off the hook finished removes the hardest part entirely. If you've tried amigurumi before and been disappointed by how it looked once assembled, start there. Bunny ears are their own small pattern — a headband with ears that takes half an hour and gets worn all day by anyone under seven. There's a hat version too, in baby through toddler sizes.

Crochet Easter eggs

Eggs are the fastest thing here. A plain crochet egg takes twenty minutes over a plastic base or worked solid and stuffed, and a basket of them in mixed pastels looks better than anything you'd buy. The range covers simple stuffed eggs, egg covers that slip over real or plastic eggs, lace eggs worked in cotton thread and stiffened, oversized display eggs, and eggs that open — two halves joined with a button or a ribbon so you can hide a treat inside. That last one is the pattern people want most and the one that's hardest to find written clearly, so ours includes the join method with photos and a beginner-friendly version that skips the fiddly closure. Egg appliqués and motifs sit here too, for anyone adding Easter detail to a blanket, a cushion or a card.

Crochet Easter baskets

A crochet basket holds its shape properly if it's worked in cotton at a tight tension, and ours are written that way rather than as a floppy bag that collapses the moment you fill it. Sizes run from mini baskets that hold three eggs up to a full gift basket, with handle options and a personalised version where you can work a name into the side using the included lettering chart. The named baskets are the ones people make year after year — they come out of the loft every March and they last far longer than a cardboard one. Bunny baskets, with ears and a face worked into the body, are in this section too.

Chicks, ducks, lambs and Easter animals

Beyond the bunny, the animal range covers chicks in several sizes, hens and ducks, lambs and sheep, and small Easter plush toys. Chicks are the ideal beginner amigurumi — a ball, a beak and two eyes, done in under an hour, and nobody has ever made just one. They're the thing to start with if you want to learn amigurumi this month, and they're the best value at a market stall because the yarn cost is almost nothing. For anything intended for a small child, use the safety notes in the pattern. Every child-facing design here uses embroidered features rather than plastic eyes, and the lovey patterns have no removable parts at all.

Easter decorations and home

Garlands, bunting, wreaths, table runners, napkin rings, coasters, hot pads, doilies and filet crochet panels. All quick, all cheap in yarn, and all reusable year after year — which is the quiet argument for crochet decorations over the shop-bought kind. The garland is the highest-impact thing in this section. A string of eggs, chicks and small bunnies across a mantelpiece takes an evening. The wreath takes a little longer but uses the same motifs on a ring base, so make the motifs once and decide later which they become. There's also a set of religious Easter patterns — crosses, lilies and filet panels — for anyone marking the season that way. They're listed separately so they're easy to find, because they usually aren't.

Easter gifts and market makes

If you're making to sell or to give, work small and work in multiples. Keyrings, treat bags, egg cosies, chocolate orange covers, small chicks, bunny keychains and mini baskets all take under an hour and all price well. Easter is a shorter selling season than Christmas but a less crowded one, and the audience is buying for children rather than for adults, which means cute beats intricate every time. Every pattern here carries a small-business licence, so you can sell the finished items you make.

Quick and easy Easter crochet

Most of this collection is quick, but if you're short on time the fastest route is: a chick, then an egg, then a bunny ear headband, then a mini basket. Four projects, four hours total, and you'll have a complete Easter set. Our beginner patterns are marked in the listings and carry extra photo steps. They're also a good place to learn amigurumi generally, since an Easter chick is the same construction as almost any stuffed animal, just smaller and more forgiving.

Frequently asked questions

What's the easiest Easter crochet project for a beginner?

A chick. A ball body, a beak and embroidered eyes, finished inside an hour. It teaches you the magic ring and even increases, which is everything you need for amigurumi generally.

How do you crochet an Easter egg that opens?

Work two matching halves, finish the rim of each with a firm round so it holds shape, then join them with a button and loop or a short length of ribbon rather than sewing them shut. The firm rim is the part people skip, and it's why most home-made opening eggs sag. Our pattern shows the method with photos.

What yarn should I use for Easter crochet?

Cotton or a cotton blend in DK weight for almost everything. It holds stitch definition, keeps baskets rigid, and takes pastel dye well. Acrylic is fine and cheaper for amigurumi. Every pattern lists exactly what we used.

Will a crochet Easter basket hold its shape?

Yes, if it's worked in cotton at a tight tension, which is how ours are written. A basket made in acrylic at a loose tension will sag once you fill it. The pattern specifies the hook size a half-step down from the yarn label for exactly this reason.

Can I make these for a baby?

Yes. The lovey, the bunny and the chick all have baby-safe versions with embroidered features and no removable parts. Check the safety note in each listing.

How long does a crochet bunny take?

Two to four hours for a standard amigurumi bunny depending on size. The no-sew version is closer to two, since there's no assembly.

Are there free Easter crochet patterns?

Yes, we publish free patterns on the blog each spring, including a basic egg and a simple chick. The paid patterns here are the fuller versions with photo tutorials, multiple sizes and support included.

When should I start Easter crochet?

February for anything you want ready in time, January if you're making to sell. The projects are small, but a full basket set is still a few weekends of work.

Can I sell what I make from these patterns?

Yes. You can sell finished items you've made yourself, at markets or online. You can't resell or share the pattern file itself.

Are these patterns in US or UK terms?

US terms throughout, with a conversion key on the first page of every PDF.
